City of Brass?

Gee, this is really expensive!

But what do you guys think? The reviews are pretty good, but you guys seem to be the harshest critics for table-top RPGs, and I'd like to hear about any bad things from this product, first.

What reviews? The one on that site that gives it 2 stars and calls it the most appalling proofreading he's ever seen?

Its hideously expensive, thats all I can tell from here. Even the pdf is almost $50, which is absurd.

I meant reviews in general.

But I want to hear from other people on the book and if it is worth it.

Ptolus was about 120 dollars, and it got relatively good reviews, from what I saw.

It's not that expensive, it's four books so that comes to about an average of 100 pages per book at 17.50 a book.

World Largest Dungeon was 100 bucks and it was pretty okay.

Here is another review from ENWorld

Just a heads up... Your post is pregnant... When you miss that many periods it's just a given.

I liked some of the Sword & Sorcery stuff by White Wolf (big fan of the Tome of Horrors series and Grimtooth!), so I bet that I'll like this.

However, is ENworld a viable and credible source for game reviews?

some of the reviewers are. The plan is to find soime other products you own by the same reviewer, compare what he thinks to what you think and then decide.
